How can I get DrawText to antialias some text onto the background as hinted at in the docs. Using SetBlend ALPHABLEND and SetAlpha 0.5 will only draw the entire text transparent. What I want to do is antialias the edge of the text so it isn't pixelly. I would also like to do the same thing for images so that DrawImage will antialias the edges onto a background, any ideas?

thanks in advance.
